Scan and share documents of all kinds right from your phone.
This is an app that is fairly simple to use. It allows you to easily scan documents and store them on your device or share them with other devices or with other people. It's like having a copy machine on your phone that allows for making copies of the files that you have before sending them to other destinations. The speed is good as you can scan a file in a few seconds. It does take some time to send larger files, but they do get sent in a reasonable time.
The camera on your phone is used to take pictures of everything from documents to receipts and pictures. You can also take pictures of cards and discussions on a whiteboard. Once the picture is taken, the information is saved in a file. When you need to scan that file, all you have to do is open it to make a copy. It's then sent to the destination that you enter. Crop items from the images that you scan so that only the important features are sent. There is an option to search for keywords to make finding files a bit easier, but this is a feature that is only for those who have registered and paid the small fee that is required for an enhanced version of the app. You can print and fax documents from the device. There is also an option to create a password for the documents that you need to secure.

CamScanner - PDF Creator lets you turn your Android device into a scanner, creating a PDF file of a document simply by taking a photo of it with your phone's camera. This makes it a very practical app for people who often work with paper documents, such as business people, finance industry professionals and students, but who would like to keep a digital record of their documents as well.
The app has been built with simplicity and ease of use in mind. All that you need to do is to place the document down on a flat surface, then make sure it is centered and evenly lit as shown in the app's camera app. CamScanner - PDF Creator will take the photo and process it so that it gets automatically converted to a PDF file. This saves you the trouble of converting JPEG photos to PDF files manually through another app or website. Before you save the photo you took as a PDF file, you have the option of setting filters to enhance its appearance if it didn't come out fully clear.
There are various other features in CamScanner - PDF Creator that are hard to find in any other app. It can instantly print out documents to nearby printers, or fax them to over 30 countries. OCR functionality is available, however you need the paid version of the app for it to work. A premium subscription is offered too, with even more functionality, like additional cloud storage or the ability to edit OCR documents.
